Rated 5 out of 5 by LoisHoonsk from Nice and sharp!I use this knife every day for many functions. It is super sharp all the way to the tip. Thinner blade than I am used to but that's not a bad thing- just different. Has a good weighted feel in the hand. I didn't realize how much I missed a truly sharp knife until I had one! I have the 6" but am now thinking of purchasing the 8" as the larger size will work better for some of bigger veggies we use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by leloi from A perfect toolWusthof Classic knives are the best. The 6" chef fits perfectly in my hand, has a great weight to it and is quality made. I would recommended this series over the Gourmet if you can for the handle, etc. It's worth the investment!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Auroramikey from Perfect balance and comfort.I have used both 8" and 10" cooks knives. I found the 8" too small and the 10" was too big for me. The 9" cooks knife is the perfect choice for me. I can chop, slice and dice all day with no discomfort or fatigue. I have tried many knives and none have been such a good fit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by naptown from Kitchen WorkhorseI know cooks who only use a larger chef's knife, but I love this one-more manageable for smaller jobs. Love my Wusthof knives so much (wedding gifts) that I'm now building a set for my mom.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jenarae from best knife EVER!I bought this knife as a gift---to myself! Being just out of grad school and on a budget it was a big spend item-- but worth every single cent I spent on it.This knife works wonders and has helped me improve my home cooking skills- I feel like a Top Chef every time I use it to dice veggies, chop herbs or thinly slice fruit for dehydrating. Smooth and easy to handle, perfect for any skill level of cooking!

Rated 5 out of 5 by zuzia from classic Black Chef's Knife 6For this Classic Knife you don't need to be a chef.I got it as a Christmas gift from my husband ( sounds bizarre, I know, but I put it on my wish list ) and now I can cut trough chickens, turkeys or a meat with a bone like one, two, three. Finished my struggles with pieces of meat with my old equipment. And I also got an arm, hope will never need it !

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rupen Rao from Best size knifeI am a home cook, I teach Indian cooking. Everywhere I teach, I see that most home cooks use 8" knives and struggle using it. Personally, I feel that a 6" knife is the best way to cook. It is easy to use, one can get a firm grip and feel safe and comfortable using it. Wushtof 6" knife has a sharp edge and is nicely designed to get a firm grip while using it. That is what I found.
